But no speaker is designed to handle DC for long - which is what
you can get from a grossly overloaded amp. To be certain that DC
couldn't wreck the speakers would require a *much* smaller amp than
would otherwise make sense. Or, of course, use an amp which can't
pass DC.


Jeez...a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Suggest you try driving a DC coupled amp into heavy clipping and see
the results to speakers which can nominally handle its output.

and to what point is this abuse of equipment warrented? should I trow my
cabinets off tall building to prove that they will be destroyed? this is
the PRO LIVE SOUND newsgroup we do not drive ANY amps into heavy
clipping, for any reason what-so-ever George


Err, then why are you crossposting to other groups?

However doesn't 'your' group get read by equipment hirers etc?

And to suggest no pro equipment ever gets abused by pros is pie in the
sky...

Hey, even Pros get abused by other Pros...

Dave we've gooten off on the wrong foot, but what happens is Eeyore starts
these damn crossposts.

He has been asked a number of times to stop.

He's a nice fellow but he keeps staring into space and mumbling
"crossposting is good".

What it does is throw groups of people together who don't know each
other...it ALWAYS wstarts fights .PERIOD.

I wish Graham (Eeyore) would stops as he's been asked to- but he's convinced
he's right, and no amount of logic is gonna change that..
